Although he is passionate about sport and fitness himself, Owen recognises that many people do not like physical activity or have ‘fallen by the wayside’ over the years. His ethos is to make people feel comfortable, to help them enjoy their exercise and to recognise the benefits of regular activity. He believes that everyone, whatever their current level of health and fitness, can make significant improvements to their health, well-being and confidence with the support of personal fitness training.

Owen recognises the need to keep abreast of the latest thinking and as part of his continuing professional development regularly attends workshops, seminars and courses.
